Hi Ian,
Many thanks once again, I came across someone researching this family tree but Pehr, Thure's father is not mentioned.
Kind Regards

Hi avm228,
In ancestry a hint shows both his parents were nationalized.
The newspaper article from 2017 by his granddaughter details the sinking of SS Main.

The ancestry hints are a little misleading. Thure's naturalisation papers list his parents' names, which Ancestry have indexed separately in that collection, but both entries lead back to the son's record

Hi Mabel,
I was coming to the same conclusion as I doubt his parent ever came to Wales.
Thanks for confirming.
